Death
There have been occasions when players have been hit and ruled out for battles, but never had death occurred to a cricketer on the field. He had skipped the Ranji Trophy match against Tamil Nadu because of a toothache and flown to Dhaka following calls to play that match for Abahani Krira Chakra against Mohammedan Sporting.
There were tributes from all over the World when he died. His wife Kim, paid him the most moving tribute when she put the Sonnet Club cap on Lamba.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“When I consider how my light is spent,
Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide,
And that one talent which is death to hide
Lodged with me useless.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“Consider his life which was valueless
In terms of employment, hotel ledgers, news files.
Consider. One bullet in ten thousand kills a man.
Ask. Was so much expenditure justified
On the death of one so young and so silly
Lying under the olive tree, O world, O death?”
—Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
“Sin their conception, their birth weeping,
Their life a general mist of error,
Their death a hideous storm of terror.”
—John Webster (c. 1580–1638)
